I moved here a few weeks ago from out of state. Late last night, as I was coming home I noticed a police car traveling the opposite way on SC 46. After passing me, it flipped around and proceeded to follow me for a quarter of a mile as I drive 28 mph. Maybe the officer thought I'd be an easy ticket since I have a California plate on the front of car. (The SC one is on the back.) The officer pulled me over after I legally had taken my turn driving through the four-way stop at S.C. 46 and Boundary Street. She told me that I was going 8 miles over the posted speed limit which was 30 mph.

I love checking out the Causes pages in Bluffton Today. It's fabulous to see that there are so many beautiful spots around Bluffton. I notice though that we aren't sending in pictures about eyesores, volunteers, heroes or fund-raising events. Surely there are those individuals or groups in our community that deserve some praise. there's more to bluffton than butterflies and flowers, right?

How does Bluffton honor those armed servicemen and women who are killed in the line of duty?

In Savannah, Hunter Army Airfield had a special memorial service for those Special Ops soldiers killed June 28 in Afghanistan last July.
Every month, Fort Stewart plants trees in honor of soldiers killed in Iraq.
I heard that some kids in Hardeeville have planted a memorial garden at school.

It looks like we'll get some rain this weekend from TS Tammy. The rainy weather is perfect for naps. But you can't sleep the weekend away. What can you do to entertain yourself or your kids when it is pouring outside besides the boob tube?

I love my new kitty Zorro but I'm not in love with his claws. He's an inside cat because he is so small and there are lots of hungry vultures in the neighborhood. He loves to play, which is fun until he starts attacking my hands. My friends have begged me to get him declawed. Any suggestion on where to go?

I took everyone's advice and went to Morris Garage when i needed a new timing belt. thanks!!!
now i'm looking for some more help. in order to get flood insurance for my recently purchased house, i needed a copy of my flood evaluation certificate from the county. unfortunately the county's copy is too blurry for my insurance agent. so i need to get a new one, which needs i need a surveyor to come out and come up with a new flood evaluation.
i know this is random, but does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks!

The British royals are touring the states. If I recall correctly, it's a first for Prince Charles. Growing up my mother had a friend that loved Diana. She recorded the royal wedding and watched it numerous times. There was a great love for Diana. What about this trip?

the other week, i had a visit from the sheriffs' dept to help me take care of some unexpected and unwanted visitors. both officers were amazing and quite helpful. they needed to dust for fingerprints and warned me that it was going to be messy. They were definitely right! They recommended using lot of dish soap to get rid of the dust. unfortunately my cat wandered through the dust and made paw print trails so i've had to clean up numerous messes. my black and white cat now has gray patches from the dust. i thought he'd just give himself a bath to clean himself up. Nope.

Everyone has a Christmas tradition. In my family, we had to eat a slice of homemade orange bread and drink a glass of eggnog before we were able to venture out, youngest to oldest, to the family room to check out what Santa had brought us. What made it extra special was that my younger sister HATED eggnog. She and my brother david would try to find the cup with the least amount of eggnog in it. They would try to dump it down the sink. They would bribe others to drink it for them. Anything!
What about you?
